So what do you call it when someone comes into the thread to bitch about the people who are bitching about George Lucas?

I know what _I_ call it. 😉

Well maybe.

But you have to consider that back in Episode -3, Yoda’s arms were actually each a yard long. Look how much they got shortened, and he still did fine!

**I made the OP and I can say this:**  
Great stars but this thread has taken on a life of its own. I never realized what a sensitive topic this was. I just wanted to say the the cool sounds of spacecraft were repalced by the sound of a truck going downhill.  
It’s just a film! Kids and adults can choose to enjoy it or not. Lucas studied filmmaking and is good at it. He’s better at making money. If Coppola had directed and Zahn had written, there would be more debating that even now.  
okay back to the debating…no go on I didn’t mean to interupt!

Yes, speaking one’s mind should be discouraged on this board. This arrogance of self-expression is mind-numbing.

:rolleyes:
